Zikula fasauth status
by David Nalley
Simon stopped by in IRC today and worked with Mel on getting FASAuth
to properly use FAS groups for granting privileges. They tested this
successfully. I grabbed the changes and committed them to the git
repository and branched 0.3
I kicked off a new srpm which you can find here:
http://ke4qqq.fedorapeople.org/zikula-module-fedora-fasauth-0.3-1.fc13.sr...
So action items from this:
1. We need to test that this RPM did in fact grab all of the changes
and that it works as it is supposed from the RPM.
2. We need someone in sysadmin-main to look at commit the above
package to the infra repo.
3. Mel - you can now take me off your nag list :)
I'll try and participate in #1 in coordination with others, though it
may be the weekend before my schedule frees up enough to sink any
serious effort into it. If someone else wants to pick this up and run
with it, feel free to.

Weekly Fedora Insight Sprint/Meetings
by Pascal Calarco
Hi Logistics, Marketing and News teams --
We've heard from almost all of the peeps who've been involved with
Fedora Insight[1], and we have two slots open where everyone can make
it, although Hiemanshu has requested that we prefer 18:00 UTC or
earlier, and so between Mondays 20:00 UTC and Thursdays 18:00 UTC, we'll
pick the earlier time.
Mike McGrath encourages us to finish up the infrastructure/logistics
components of this, as these get frozen well in advance of the F13
launch, so we should focus on outstanding issues for packaging for
staging first.
#fedora-meeting is available at this time, so I have booked this[2] and
also moved the old Zikula implementation meeting, which was Wednesdays
14:00 UTC.
I'll spend some time this afternoon doing some wiki gardening on the
existing Fedora Insight page, as at last week's Marketing FAD we also
thought it mighty long in the tooth for ideal access.
Its not too late to join us, just hit the Doodle poll below to let us
know your interest and availability going forward.
See you Thursday at 14:00 UTC #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net!

Fedora Insight: Weekly Sprint/Meeting for F13 launch
by Pascal Calarco
We would like to start up the Fedora Insight weekly meetings again, and
so I have opened a poll asking when folks who have been involved in the
preproduction packaging, configuration, templating and content testing
could meet. Others are most welcome to join us. We will meet on IRC in
an appropriate available meeting room, either #fedora-meeting or
#fedora-meeting-1. Please fill out the poll below to indicate the day
and time of the week which would work for you
http://www.doodle.com/gbnedec5x38ws5zq
We hope to start these weekly meetings starting this coming week,
through early May. Thanks!

Fedora Insight sprint summary: 2010-02-28
by Pascal Calarco
Simon Birtwhistle (itbegins), Hiemanshu Sharma (hiemanshu), Pascal
Calarco (pcalarco), Karsten Wade (quaid), David Nalley (ke4qqq), and Jon
Stanley (jds2001) got together at various points on #fedora-meeting-1
throughout the day yesterday to work on Fedora Insight.

Here is a very brief summary that leaves out much detail. The team
accomplished an amazing amount of work with kudos particularly going to
Simon and Hiemanshu for doing the bulk of the work.
The team structured work around a set of TRAC tickets:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2006
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2007
1. Upgrading Publictest6
-------------------------
The main work concentrated on upgrading the Zikula instance on
publictest6, from 1.1.2 to 1.2.2. Simon upgraded this by hand, while
Hiemanshu packaged the new Zikula 1.2.2. A new version (0.40) of the
Zikula module, pagemaster, was also installed on pt6. Once an RPM
package was ready to review, a note was sent off to David Nalley, who
joined in the channel a bit later.
2. Repository for Zikula 1.2.2
------------------------------
A discussion ensued about packaging guidelines and whether an exception
could be made for Zikula 1.2.2 around one of the deprecated
Zikula-specific bundled libraries included in the package,
zikula-php-gettext that had some packaging and licensing issues. Jon
Stanley joined shortly thereafter as well. A new TRAC ticket came out
of this discussion (thank you, Karsten):
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2008
3. Pagemaster templating
------------------------
Hiemanshu and Simon worked together to next focus on customizing the UI
templates for pagemaster, a Zikula module that the key for the content
model and workflow that we need for Fedora Insight.
The first content we are focusing on is that of Fedora Weekly News
(FWN), and so we worked on customizing the templates for that workflow,
with a more generic set of templates and workflow defined for general
news items. In Pagemaster terms, these are different publication types
and templates, with different workflow defined for each.
4. Iterative testing with FWN Content
-------------------------------------
Pascal Calarco started loaded past FWN individual beats, and the team
worked on having the template aggregate these into a given FWN Issue on
Fedora Insight. The two different workflows were used for this: FWN
pubtype for individual FWN beats, and then creating a posting for the
front page of Fedora Insight pointing to the aggregated issue:
http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/index.php?module=pagemaster&t...
(requires FAS test authentication)
http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/
We substantially completed the FWN workflow, although a couple more TRAC
tickets will be opened up and worked on to further finesse the workflow,
create RSS functionality, and other items.
In the short term, none of the workflow from the FWN beat writers
perspective needs to change; the change is that the FWN editor reposts
content to Fedora Insight once it is posted. The Fedora Insight
proposed workflow for FWN (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/FIWorkFlow)
will be updated to reflect the outcomes.
What remains:
* upgrading Zikula and pagemaster on staging
* moving over database from pt6 to staging to reflect template customization
* creating RSS functionality for FWN at the beat and issue level
* defining and documenting authorization levels between conten
contributors, editors, administrators
* tweaking the FWN pubtype Admin menu to improve editing efficiency
* discussing, decisioning and documenting standards for FWN content from
wiki source
* testing generic news pubtype with other content
A huge thanks to Simon Birtwhistle (Zikula.org) and Hiemanshu Sharma
(Fedora Marketing), and Karsten Wade (Logistics/Community
Infrastructure) for the amazing amount of work we accomplished
yesterday! Lots of work to do yet, but we made substantial progress on
the core infrastructure for Fedora Insight.
